    Its situated in a great entrance point to the city and next to the Surma River . Where you can also see the famous 'kin bridge' which was built during British Colonial period . This huge Clock is not only a landmark , it carries ancient history and culture of Sylhet .but day by day this place is going towards destruction , because of the poor maintenance ,the surrounding area is dirty , I would like to seek the attention of local authority to protect and maintain this place properly .

    The clock is placed in the bank of river Surma and under the red bridge which called Kin Bridge. It's told that it was gifted by a merchant named Ali Amjad for keeping an eye on the time while people were doing there daily business. It's so old that, one cannot imagine Sylhet without this clock. It has been one of the symbolic historical spot for Sylhet since it was formed as a market.

    It’s one of the historical landmark of Sylhet. The Ali Amjad's Clock is the oldest clock tower of Bangladesh located on the bank of Surma River in Sylhet City. It is locally known as "Ghori Ghar" and a popular tourist attraction adjacent to the Keane Bridge. The tower was constructed in 1872 by Ali Amjad's father, Nawab Moulvi Ali Ahmed Khan, just two years before he was born. Nawab ali Amjad Khan was the 8th Nawab of the Prithimpasha estate jn Kulaura, Moulvibazar. It’s the symbol of Sylhet City. Nowadays, everyone does different designs based on this ancient landmark. I love this place to make adda with my friends..

    This is a historical place of Sylhet city where a lock is situated beside another historical structure named 'keen bridge' and the places are located on the bank of The Surma river. People often come to enjoy the nature & history & take snacks from nearby street food vendors. The problem is that the river is getting dirty & there is little maintenance. So, the authority should come forward and take proper action to keep this place precise for the potential visitors

    The Ali Amjad Clock, crafted by Nawab Ali Ahmed Khan around 1895, is a true masterpiece. Its timeless design, impeccable construction, and attention to detail make it a stunning addition to any setting. This clock seamlessly blends artistry and functionality, with its precise timekeeping and soothing ticking. A remarkable piece with sentimental value, the Ali Amjad Clock is a must-have for those who appreciate beauty, history, and the passage of time.

    Oldest clock tower of Bangladesh. Sylhet City Corporation authority needs to create public awareness about the importance and potential of this place. Also need to remove electricity wires nearby this clock. Sitting near the Crean Bridge & Ali Amjad's Clock, the fresh air of the Surma River and a cup of tea can captivate anyone.

    It felt amazing hearing this historic clock's sound. Unfortunately, the adjescent area has turned into a truck stand. This is very degrading considering the value of two iconic and historic construction and the mighty Surma river's view. I hope the authorities will fix this as they have fixed the clock.

    A very beautiful place, but the noise of people is high. Traffic jams occur as a result of the movement of vehicles throughout the day. I commute almost all the time now. Ali Amjad watch is much bigger. The clock is ticking every hour. This is a historical clock in Sylhet.

    The trip to Sylhet town was good and to see how people in another place carry on with their daily lives. The town is conservative so it would be appropriate to dress in proper attire.

  • 4/5 Biplob deb n. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a historical place of Sylhet. Here is Ali Amzad's watch, which is very old. And there is a bridge built during British period, known as George kinn Bridge. Do not forget to visit this place when visiting Sylhet. But of course keep your mobile wallet and other valuables carefully, thanks.

    I will not say that this Amjad clock can be one of the places of travel for people who are thirsty for travel in Sylhet, but if you don't see it, the Sylhet trip will remain incomplete also sylhet Circuit House.

  • 5/5 Jamil Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Atmosphere : 02/10 It’s really a WOW clock, but the authority did not give a damn care of this. At night, there was nothing to show the clock properly. Even the specific time indication sound was too much booring. First of all, the surrounding needs to be clean. Then the clock needs to be well furbished with proper maintaining.

It can be described a place where you can go walk a bit, click some photos, get some mosquito bites, have some fuchka, check the beautiful bridge 🌉 and come back.
